3.4 Particles and Thermochem

Achievement standard 3.4 - Particles and Thermochemistry (5 Credits)
"Describe properties of Particles and thermochemical principles"

This Achievement Standard four main parts to it.

  • Periodicity
  • Architecture and Polarity
  • Intermolecular Forces
  • Thermochemistry

-Periodicity-


  • Electron Configuration
  • Atomic Radii
  • Ionic Radii
  • Comparison of Atomic and Ionic Radii
  • Electronegativity
  • Ionisation Energies

-Electron Configuration-

Last year and all the years before, all you knew about electron configuration was the 2,8,8 model. In year 13 chemistry, we do not use this model, as it is a very basic understanding of the atom.
